Sea Mobile only operates in the Gulf. And USCC does not have any GSM service that I'm aware of. The only GSM carrier you could have roamed on in Maine is T-Mobile, VZW (former UNICEL), or a Canadian carrier.

I am a little confused. My Verizon phone was able to roam on GSM because they used TDMA. Tell it was shutdown. The phone recognizes it as Analog. If PCS has TDMA, It could be technically be used on GSM.

I just realized that the ARFCN of 238 references a GSM channel, not a UMTS channel. Therefore, disregard my comments in post #7. GSM channel 238 falls into the A-block of the cellular band, which belongs to USCC.

How was data on either network? 310-890 worked for me in N.Conway, NH for audio streaming at 128k/sec with a few skips.

Yeah the data worked alright..I could stream Pandora with minimal skips. I think I'm going to get some hate mail from AT&T about data roaming though because I fell asleep and Pandora was streaming all night.

Probably not for the first month lol....... I tethered on the former Unicel network back in 2008 and did about 100Mb on their network. I never got a letter from AT&T, but I only did it for one month. Anymore than that and I'm sure I would of gotten a letter.
